Guess they'll announce the full lineup today or tomorrow, or just put them on sale before the announcement

Kanye West and Smashing Pumpkins will headline the 2007 Bang! Music Festival, to be held Nov. 10-11 at Miami's Bayfront Park Amphitheatre. Tickets go on sale Saturday (Sept. 1).

Thirty acts are expected to perform at the Haddad Productions-steered event, which is expanding to two days this year. Confirmed so far are the Bravery, Riverboat Gamblers, Automatic Loveletter and Kevens.

i think the pumpkins demand that they are the headliner. as part of the deal. and then it's up to the organizer to accept or decline.

Thanks. Hmmmmmm I may get tickets for both days now.... On a side note, I wish the Bravery wasn't on their though. I just saw them open for Incubus two days ago, the guitarist was really good but the singer was gay and kept trying to look cool and steal the spotlight during the guitarists solo.

Kanye West is actually a lot of fun live, for those of you unsure of seeing rap live.

Seeing Spoon live is what ruined them for me. Very boring.

I liked them the first time I saw them (October 2005), but the second and third times didn't do it for me.
